DOUBLE FUDGE CHOCOLATE COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream butter with white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in coffee crystals and vanilla until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients just until everything comes together. Cover, and let stand for 35 minutes so the chocolate can set up.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, or drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be set, but the centers will still be very soft because of the chocolate. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, extending paper over edges. Set aside.
• Melt 1 cup butter and unsweetened chocolate in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Stir in all remaining brownie ingredients except chocolate chips; mix well. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
• Spread half of batter into parchment-lined pan.
• Combine all filling ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Spread over brownie batter in pan. Spoon remaining batter over cream cheese mixture. (Some cream cheese mixture may show through batter.)
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until brownie begins to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely.
• Lift bars from pan, using parchment paper ends. Place onto cutting board. Pull back edges of parchment for easy cutting; cut into bars. Store refrigerated.
